Will College Basketball Coaches Agree to Use Race, Diversity and Affirmative Action for Their Teams?

Michigan State's top basketball players in 2011-2012.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — “The National Association of Basketball Coaches has told the U.S. Supreme Court it believes university officials should be able to continue taking race into consideration when deciding who gets to enroll in their schools.”

Q: Will the college basketball coaches agree to take race and diversity goals into consideration when deciding who gets to play on their teams?

Update: The photo above shows the six players on the Michigan State Spartans basketball team who had the most playing time and made the most points during the 2011-2012 season, and it's not a very diverse group, and not very representative of society at large or the Michigan State student body. Certainly lots of significant racial under-representation here that could be addressed with the race-based, affirmative action preferences that frequently take place in college admissions.
